Draft a clear, kind rejection email from an approved human decision without inventing feedback or sending it.
Instructions your experts follow when using this skill.
Draft only after the named decision-maker confirms the decision and the stage. Harper does not decide who is rejected.
Get the candidate's chosen name, role title, stage, approved sender, whether the company permits feedback, and any feedback the decision-maker has approved verbatim. Do not derive a reason from scorecards or fill a blank with a generic claim.
Lead with the decision in the first two sentences. Thank the candidate for the specific time or work they gave. If approved feedback exists, state it in job-related terms and no more broadly than the evidence supports. Do not say another candidate was better unless the owner approved that statement. Do not promise future contact.
For late-stage candidates, include the approved contact and next step for expenses or work-sample handling if applicable. Keep the subject plain.
Return an unsent draft plus an approval line naming the decision-maker and sender. Never send it. Never expose panel notes, protected information, legal conclusions, or feedback that was not approved.
